<p>Not a duck, though, but someone recently got arrested at a downtown park for strangling a black swan. Some drunk dude thought it would be really funny to pick up a swan by the neck. Unfortunately, the swan suffered a neck fracture. People are stupid sometimes.</p>

<p>Such an important point Zeraph, and so relevant to the concerns we all face today.</p>
<p>I'll take it as a given that if I am operating the controls of a robot machine capable of blasting a city into fragments of atomic waste, that I won't take a duck with me. I might consider taking a dragon. A pterodactyl, even. But not a duck.</p>

<p>ducks can be evil when they sit on your head</p>
<p>as you operate the controls of a robot machine</p>
<p>capable of blasting a city into fragments of atomic waste.</p>
